LTX-2 19B Dev (8-bit) - MLX

This is a 8-bit quantized version of the LTX-2 19B Dev model, optimized for Apple Silicon using MLX.

Model Description

LTX-2 is a state-of-the-art video generation model from Lightricks. This version has been quantized to 8-bit precision for efficient inference on Apple Silicon devices with MLX.

Key Features

• Pipeline: Dev (full control with CFG scale)
• Quantization: 8-bit precision
• Framework: MLX (Apple Silicon optimized)
• Memory: ~19GB VRAM required

Usage

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/CharafChnioune/mlx-video.git

Command Line

# Basic generation
mlx-video --prompt "A beautiful sunset over the ocean" \
    --model-repo AITRADER/ltx2-dev-8bit-mlx \
    --pipeline dev \
    --height 512 --width 512 \
    --num-frames 33

# Dev pipeline with CFG
mlx-video --prompt 'A cat playing with yarn' \\
    --model-repo AITRADER/ltx2-dev-8bit-mlx \\
    --pipeline dev \\
    --steps 40 --cfg-scale 4.0

Python API

from mlx_video import generate_video

    prompt="A beautiful sunset over the ocean",
    model_repo="AITRADER/ltx2-dev-8bit-mlx",
    pipeline="dev",
    height=512,
    width=512,
    num_frames=33,
